The Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of President Trump's ability to enforce the Alien Enemies Act, allowing immigration officials to expedite the deportation of alleged gang members. This decision upholds a wartime authority from 1798, while litigation surrounding the act continues in lower courts. Importantly, the court emphasized that those facing deportation must be informed of their status and allowed to contest their removals, taking into account the concerns from migrant attorneys about the expedited process limiting legal challenges.
This ruling allows the Trump administration to utilize the Alien Enemies Act for expedited deportations, which could affect numerous undocumented immigrants.
The Supreme Court's decision reinforces that affected individuals must receive adequate notice and a chance to challenge their removals before they happen.
